• Mr. A. H. Jolliffe, the North Western deputy LA, in Liverpool on Friday was urged not to license transport, even indirectly, for Shellabear Price Ltd. of C. H. Harvey and Sons Ltd., the contractors concerned with the Mersey Tunnel extension. Mr. J. E. Jones, on behalf of five objectors, asked him to recall the recent rates battle.
Mr. S. C. Jones, of Birkenhead, was applying for a new B licence to carry excavated and building materials within 15 miles. The application was refused.
Mr. Jones had stated that he held a B licence from 1954-66 but had worked as a fitter for the last two years. Last October he had been granted a short-term licence to work for Harvey and had applied for his substantive licence at the same time.
However, he said, customer support had been withdrawn and he had given the vehicle to his wife so that he could be employed by Shellabear Price on tunnel construction under its C-hiring margin, driving the vehicle registered in his wife's name. Asked by Mr. J. E. Jones if that was not a "fiddle", he replied: "No Sir, it is not".
Now he had been offered other work but would continue to work occasionally on the tunnel if the licence was granted.
